Pros & cons
Petrodex Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste (Poultry, 6.2 oz)
Pros
- ✓Enzymatic, non-foaming and no-rinse — you brush and walk away, which is what makes a daily habit stick
- ✓Poultry flavour is the reason most dogs tolerate the brush at all
- ✓$1.60 an ounce puts a full tube inside the price of a single bag of dental chews
Cons
- ✗Paste only — no brush or finger brush in the box, unlike the Virbac kit ranked above it
- ✗Human toothpaste is toxic to dogs and this is not a substitute for a professional cleaning under anaesthetic
- ✗Brushing is the work; a flavoured paste makes the work tolerable, it does not replace it
TropiClean Fresh Breath Water Additive
Pros
- ✓Effortless — just add to water bowl daily
- ✓Noticeably reduces bad breath within days
- ✓No brushing or chewing required
Cons
- ✗Some dogs refuse water with additive at first
- ✗Less effective than brushing or dental chews alone
